Fire victims try to invade housing project

Cape Town Metro Police say people left homeless after a shack fire in the Joe Slovo informal settlement in Langa on Saturday night are now trying to invade completed houses at the N2-Gateway housing project. It is not yet clear how many shacks were destroyed in the blaze, but no injuries have been reported. Police say scores of disgruntled people have gathered at the Gateway project, throwing stones and damaging the property.
